Harmony Gold Mining Company Ltd:A South African court on Monday began two weeks of hearings to determine if gold miners suffering from debilitating lung diseases they say they contracted at work can proceed with a class action lawsuit against the industry - RTRS.The industry is opposed to the lawsuit proceeding as a class action, which would enable plaintiffs to join forces as a "class" as opposed to thousands of individual cases - RTRS.Working deep underground for years without proper protection, countless South African miners inhaled silica dust from gold-bearing rocks and later contracted silicosis - RTRS.A disease which causes shortness of breath, a persistent cough and chest pains, it makes people highly susceptible to tuberculosis, which kills - RTRS."If the court certifies the class, the lawsuit will proceed as the largest ever class action law-suit in the coun-try and on the continent," the Legal Resources Centre, a human rights group which has joined the case, said in a statement on Monday - RTRS.Attorney Richard Spoor, whose legal battle against a South African asbestos-mining company led to a $100 million settlement in 2003, told Reuters he had signed up more than 30,000 former miners and their dependants for the lawsuit - RTRS.Another law firm, Abra-hams Kiewitz, has also joined the suit, which targets AngloGold Ashanti, Harmony Gold, Sibanye Gold, Gold Fields, Anglo American, DRDGold, & African Rainbow Minerals - RTRS.

Harmony Gold Mining Company Ltd:South Africa's Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) voted on Sunday to strike at the operations of AngloGold Ashanti, Harmony Gold and Sibanye Gold - Reuters."The whole gold sector has voted for a strike," AMCU President Joseph Mathunjwa said after a crowd of about 5,000 miners voted by a show of hands - Reuters.AMCU, which lead a bruising five-month strike last year in the platinum sector, is known for its uncompromising stance, and has not backed down from its original demand for a more than doubling of basic wages to 12,500 rand a month - Reuters.The vote will not lead to an immediate stoppage - Reuters.Only at Sibanye does the AMCU have a clear path to a strike that would not be deemed wildcat - Reuters.The Chamber of Mines has said Harmony and AngloGold will go to court to prevent AMCU from striking because they have signed wage deals with three other unions representing most of their workers - Reuters.The industry says this means they can apply the same agreement to the rest of their workforce. This happened two years ago in the gold sector, when AMCU was forced to accept agreements signed by other unions - Reuters.
